How significant is the recent escalation between NATO and Russia?

It’s next to impossible to explain the concept of NATO to an isolationist loving MAGA supporter because the idea of helping another country that is under attack from a much bigger country goes against what it means to be an “isolationist”.

Putin will continue to threaten but as he has done for the last 3 years, very little will actually happen although all the MAGA isolationists will continue to get their panties in a knot but they wont actually do anything else because they are too self serving to be any use to anyone one.

If something does happen I would hope that the members of NATO function as one and send Pootin packing.

putin escalates regardless, and he can yap away as much as he wants, he longer has any credibility. Nobody cares what he says about anything.

russia is not doing well anywhere. They advance by a few fields which cost them thousands of dead, and then they are driven back a few days later. For over 1,000 days the barbarians have been stymied... and the Ukrainians now own Kursk 😂

What's putin going to do? He had to beg North Korea for troops because nobody wants to go and die in Ukraine just so putin can build another luxury villa. His munitions are rubbish from Iran and North Korea, the russian economy is in the toilet, and russian society has had more than enough of watching what used to be russia's future bleeding to death into Ukrainian soil.

But it's not a problem because trump says he will end the war in a single day, and he always does what he promises, right?

Right?

Nobody cares about trump's braggadocio and lies and buffoonery... he's not a player in any of this. He hasn't yet worked out that if you can't tell who the patsy is... it's you (his supporters have the same problem)

Day 1,002

Слава Україні!

Героям слава!

The Russian interest rate according to monetary economists is now infinity. The Ruble has pushed past the one penny resistance and will now continue to decline into obscurity. This they say is the equivalent to the fall of the Roman empire. But a lot faster.

With soaring logistical and admin costs and no precious metals left to plunder from enemies, the Romans levied more and more taxes against the people to sustain the Empire.

Hyperinflation, soaring taxes, and worthless money created a trifecta that dissolved much of Rome’s trade.
The economy was paralyzed.

By the end of the 3rd century, any trade that was left was mostly local, using inefficient barter methods instead of any meaningful medium of exchange. (In Russia they are now using potatoes and oranges.).

During the crisis of the 3rd century (235-284 A.D), there may have been more than 50 emperors of Rome. Most of these were murdered, assassinated, or killed in battle.

The empire was in a free-for-all, and it split into three separate states.

Constant civil wars meant the Empire’s borders were vulnerable. Trade networks were disintegrated and such activities became too dangerous.

Barbarian invasions came in from every direction. Plague was rampant.

And so the Western Roman Empire would cease to exist by 476 A.D.

Russia; it is estimated, will fall much faster. Likely in the next couple of months.

The military industrial complex, central banks, and globalists all know the gravy train of US tax $$$ comes to an end when Trump takes office. The missile attacks represent a desperate attempt on their part to get Russia to escalate the conflict with a retaliatory response, hoping to inflame the public into accepting a global war. Handing the Trump administration WWIII also distracts from the immigration and prosecutory issues DC is facing. The good news is that Putin isn't stupid. He knows exactly what the globalists are trying to do.

What's the deep state?

Deep state?

You arent worth responding to.

Trump will put an end to the war in 2 months max. Putin just wants a face saving way out.

First ICBM launch today, and the movement of Frontier missiles. A bitter old man who has to leave his house at the end of the year has just upped the ante.

Biden wants to make things as worse as he can before Trump takes office. He doesn't give a damn about the situation he puts the US in.

Ric Grenell to Newsmax: No Talks of Peace From Biden, More War
Since the Russia-Ukraine war began in February 2022, the Biden administration has continually ratcheted up tensions in the conflict while at the same time seeking no solution for an off-ramp, former acting director of national intelligence Ric Grenell told Newsmax on Tuesday.

Grenell told "Finnerty" that at the G20 conference, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan "came forward with a peace plan."

"And, you know, you have [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy saying that he would like to see a diplomatic solution in 2025. People are calling for a diplomatic solution.
And yet [President] Joe Biden is fanning the flames with more money and more missiles. We don't have anyone talking about a peace plan," he said.

"We have too many U.S. officials talking about more war and more funding for war. And I'm really concerned about it."

It doesn't make much sense except like you said to sabotage Trump. Doesn't make much sense militarily either as Russia could give them an almighty ass whopping with their airforce in response if they so wished. And the West wouldn't intervene.

To me it seems like the final desperate act of those who know their time is almost up. I am of course referring to those who really control the US government, so not Joe Biden, who is just their spokesman when he's even coherent enough to perform that simple task on a good day.
As for this observation of yours:
one must ask the question if why they're doing so well, it's taking such a long, long time to achieve their objectives, whatever those objectives may be. Originally, when the invasion began, one of those objectives was the seizure of the capital, Kiev. That failed disastrously when, due to the sheer incompetence of those running the show, all they ended up with was the world's worst traffic jam.
Then the objectives "changed" (apparently). Now it was no longer about taking over Ukraine and kicking out Zelensky, but "hunting Nazis", of which there were none to begin with, but let's not allow simple and obvious facts get in the way of a good story.
Look, the simple truth is that neither side is winning; it's a stalemate, and has been from the beginning of this stupid and pointless war. It's the trenches of World War One, rather than the blitzkrieg of World War Two, which is what everyone was expecting when it began.

Putin used his nuclear capability to attempt to draw a red line. NATO called his bluff and precisely nothing has happened. A tactical and diplomatic success. This is what healthy democratic states do, rather than appeasing autocrats.

Don't be so parochial. NATO has far bigger fish to fry. Trump will sabotage his own presidency without any outside help 🙂

Well most NATO members are supposedly against a Trump presidency, I think they are trying to give Ukraine all the support to get ahead before Trump takes over

It is significant. It remains to be seen if Russia will respond in a manner NATO clearly wants it to so as to throw a spanner in the wheels of Trump's plan. It remains to be seen if Trump himself will hold true to his word.

Let us hope Putin wins against the whole collective West. They are evil people who don't understand a thing.

Because America is a warmongering nation.
Always has been.

In your lifetime, count how many conflicts America has either sold arms to or has assisted one side over another.

Whether it be Korea during the 50's. Vietnam during the 60's. Cambodia during the 70's. Iran during the 80's. Iraq during the 90's. Kuwait; Afghanistan; Yemen; Syria....

Making money and temporary friends to pursue their own political and economic goals for the era.

The current stuff between America and Russia is just two increasingly irrelevant 'superpowers'.
With no common enemy to unite behind, how do you think either country justifies it's massive arms spending ?
Where do you suppose all that money from 'necessary arms creation
including r n d' comes from ?

Unwinnable wars are a staple of keeping the poorest employed and ensuring there's always a ready supply of new recruits happy to be paid.
And if they survive, they can always retire, gain the kudos of being able to call themselves veterans.
That too has a certain kudos even in civilian life.

It is extremely serious and outright dangerous. So very sad that the US money interests decided they needed to own Ukraine.

I hope Russia wont use nuclear missiles. They are gainining positions in Africa and USA wont be able to finance ukraine for long. So its not in anybody interest to escalate this conflict maybe except ukrainian leaders.....

I don't presume to know.. we could be on the verge of world war.. or there may be a forced 7 year peace treaty that won't last more than 3.5 years.. I love Russia and i disapprove of Putin and his engagements in current wars.. i have no idea what Nato even is.. my main focus is on Israel and Jewish safety so tho i have sympathy for Ukraine and also North Koreans being forced into this war i also feel sorry for the Russians being forced to fight them .. i think Putin should be removed.. he's basically a serial killer of his political rivals .. a crim

We are possibly hours away from full scale Nuclear war. This needs to stop.

Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., mocked on Friday the notion of Russian President Vladimir Putin reaching a peace deal for the war in Ukraine.

"As much as I would like to believe we can negotiate with a tyrant, I suspect we may be deceiving ourselves," Rounds said at the Halifax Security Forum, according to Newsweek.

Russia used hypersonic missile to warn the West i would say but question is if Ukraine will continue to attack russian territory with western missiles...

Eh. Unlikely of anything too drastic but you never know, maybe the world needs another worle war, help get rid of the bad blood.

Just another plan to cause havoc and then blame the current leader. And most of them will still cling to the old world "enemy".

Good post Comrade. Where in Russia do you live?

Well if Russia nukes Miami I'm down with it.
